Damn I love steam, just decided to buy a game and it is coming down at over 1.5MB/s (yes big B not little b). I don't get why people have such a problem with DD, I can go relax for an hour until my game is ready and I don't have to leave my house...even if I wanted to leave its past 2AM so there is no other way I was getting the game tonight.

DD is an awesome thing...even better when it is from a quality service like steam. I love the digital age!

Steam is a good service, if you don't live in Europe and benefit from Valve's European tax.

What's more likely? That a company that gives away free weekend demos of games, massive free content updates, phenomenal weekend deals like this one, etc...

A) Decided to charge Europeans more in order to give other customers a better price (which is self-defeating since the abused market just stops taking the abuse).

OR

B) Steam is passing on a EU tax levied against them to the consumer thus proving the point that businesses don't pay taxes, consumers do.

 

I like option B, but I'm certainly biased as I have a high regard for Valve and their customer service.  It could always be option C "something else" but I'd honestly be surprised if it was option A.
